Manually Configured (Static) MAC Address

A static address for a device can be restricted to a specific port, with a specific VLAN. A static address will not be removed from the MAC address table when an interface link is down – it is bound to the assigned interface and non-movable. When a static address is seen on another interface, the address will be ignored and will not be written to the address table. A static address cannot be (dynamically) learnt on another port until it is being removed from the running-config.
